Restoring DVD backup
09-02-2019 08:15 AM

I had to perform a factory reset on my laptop yesterday. I carried out a full backup to 12 DVDs using the HP Support Assistant. When complete, I continued via the Support Assistant to perform the factory reset. However, since then I cannot find how to restore all my files from my DVD backup! Can anyone help, please?

Thank you for posting your query on HP Community,
- Are you getting any error message or code while playing DVD's?
- Does computer recognize the DVD disk?
- Have you checked the DVD on a different computer
You may try to remove the dvd and use a microfiber cloth as it is excellent for lint-free cleaning.
Once done, insert the dvd and try to check if it works.
You may refer to this support document for - HP PCs - Restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 7)
Let me know how it goes for further assistance!

Hi, Jeet_singh.
Before I had received your response, I noticed that on the 1st DVD there was a file RecoveryMgr.exe as mentioned in the support document to which you refer and I just ran this.
I was then able to recover all my files from the backup.
Thanks for your response.
